WHY STAY

If you are planning on visiting the Siwa Oasis in Egypt - Adrère Amellal is your option for a true luxury setting. You will be taken care of from the start with all the meals and activities included. The location is pure magic with the resort sitting on the edge of the "Sand Sea", with the "White Mountain" as a backdrop and a salt sea right in front of your eyes. Surrounded by date palms, the house is built from mud and salt. Each one of the 40 rooms are unique with mud walls, wood floor, and kilim rugs. There is no electricity and the rooms are intimately lit with homemade beeswax candles.

WHY WANDER

Explore Siwa day and night with Adrère Amellal taking care of all the details. Go 4X4ing in the dunes or visit the desert hot springs. Discover Siwa town and see the Temple of Amun, the Mountain of the Dead or the ruins of Shali Fortress. Enjoy your view of the salt lake, contrasted with the warm yellow of the sand dunes. Horseback Ride through the desert for the ultimate Siwa adventure.

INDULGE IN

Everything is grown on the property so it's fresh, organic and bursting with flavor. Try the spinach soufflé.

GETTING THERE

Arrange a car from Cairo with the hotel. The trip is long but well worth it. (about 8 hours)
